I'd probably recommend Python and JavaScript—perhaps with an eye towards learning Java later on for a broader perspective.

Python and JS are both booming in popularity and have a lot of beginner guides. But in order not to be too "sheltered", I think learning Java will teach a lot about programming.

Contributing

We encourage you to contribute to dev.to! Please check out the Contributing to dev.to guide for…




It's a full website, not a low level tool so the contribution barrier should be a little less. We are a Ruby on Rails project. Getting the app up and running is probably the biggest hurdle.

Once that's done, though, we really appreciate refactoring PRs—things that clean up code and generally improve things.

You can peruse our Code Climate for areas to improve.

When I started contributing , I also started from js (as I was doing it any way). I picked up a validation lib which I was using. I started with fixing some typos and later on started doing feature request and bug fixes. Contributing is really fun and gives you a challenge to attend

Coding open-source frameworks become so usual, that you are unable to convey basic underlying grounds of business for the newcomer, who is coding simple php, rarely object-oriented, even if so, scripting tactile. See e. g. uploaded image, the recruiter - hr representative of an enterprise says 'your competencies - the quality of your test task solution - are not fulfilling our manager expectations'. It's weird because the developer job was titled Symfony developer and the test was a simple crud API, but Symfony requires suggested modules to be installed & configured, thus extending the development time, in this way they expect it to be executed timely as script, framework-less.

It's not testing, it's their psychological conditions deviation request not to turn it into psychiatric mental condition illness. The latter is the case because it's not their BI to investigate the market by inviting interviewees to fake job ad calls.

Anyway, these calls and alike are the developer's concern to envisage, recognize and react accordingly - responding with adequate measures, but not advertise frameworks instead, which are business tools, not propagated by non-economics & business students.
